Yosemite is a 1,200 square mile national park in the Yosemite Valley in east central California. It encompasses parts of Madera, Mariposa, and Tuolumne counties. A rich protected wilderness area that backs up to the Sierra Nevada mountain range, it hosts diverse flora, fauna, waterfalls, streams, Giant Sequoia groves, and granite cliffs-and attracts millions of visitors annually. But even from your own home or office, you can enjoy its beauty and tranquility with a Great Big Canvas.
This incredible glacial landscape is one of the most famous on earth. It is a mix of meadows, valleys, and highlands. The massive granite spire, Half Dome, is the showpiece of the High Sierra. This icon rises 8,800 feet above sea level and poses an exciting challenge to many hikers. Just imagine some of these outstanding views on a Great Big Canvas!
